Judge & Evaluator
The winner of this SVG challenge is Claude 3.5 Sonnet (2024-10-22) Player 2

Judge's Analysis

    Player 2's submission is more creative and closely adheres to the surrealist theme, depicting the clock hands melting and transforming into a river with fluidity and movement.

    The technical quality is higher, with attention to detail in the clock's face and the flowing hands.

    In contrast, Player 1's image lacks complexity and visual impact, with a simplistic representation of the concept.

These metrics analyze technical aspects of both SVG drawings. Look for differences that might explain the judge's decision. Use the "View Code" button above to see the SVG code for each drawing.

AI Judging Process

Creativity

Originality, innovative use of shapes and unique approach to the prompt.

Prompt Adherence

How accurately the SVG captures the essence of the prompt.

Visual Appeal

Aesthetic quality including composition, color usage and overall visual impact.

How does judging work?

SVG drawings are converted to static PNG images for evaluation. The AI judge receives the original prompt and both images, then determines which drawing better fulfills the evaluation criteria without seeing animations, interactivity, or SVG code.
